New England and Cunningham Highway (National Highway
15) (Aratula to Dinmore)
National Highway 15 begins at the NSW border at Wallangarra
as the New England Highway in the fruit and agricultural
districts of Stanthorpe. It then turns into the Cunningham
Hwy turnoff, near Toowoomba to the south western region
of Brisbane and passes by the city of Ipswich, where
it then terminates at the Ipswich Motorway (M2) and
Warrego Highway (A2) interchange at Dinmore.
The New England Highway after the Cunningham Highway
intersection continues as A3.
This page concentrates on the Cunningham Highway as
it makes it way from Aratula, through Fassifern and
Brisbane's far-western suburbs through to Dinmore near
Ipswich.
